Preliminary discussion on second ore-prospecting space in Xiangshan uranium ore field

The uranium resources discovered in Xiangshan ore field mainly are located in the depth of 500m.In the north of ore field,uranium mineralization occurs in granitic porphyry and its interior and outer contact zone.In the west of ore field,uranium mineralization is mainly hosted in faults of volcanic lava and the boundary of different rocks.Therefore uranium mineralization is spatially controlled by the interface.Based on the modern theory of hydrothermal metallogenesis,by analyzing past and recent exploration results and comparing similar foreign metallogenic geological conditions,we consider that there is second ore-prospecting space in Xiangshan ore field.In the second ore-prospecting space,there may be the second uranium mineralization zone.Optimistic resource potential may exist in the second ore-prospecting space which has been proven by recent deep exploration results in the ore field.
